Book excerpt: Wit and Mirth: or Pills to Purge Melancholy, Vol. 5 of 6by Thomas D''UrfeyBy Sir John Burtonhead.[Listen] LL Christians and Lay-Elders too,For Shame amend your Lives;I''ll tell you of a Dog-trick now,Which much concerns you Wives:An Elder''s Maid near Temple-Bar,(Ah! what a Quean was she?)Did take an ugly Mastiff Cur,Where Christians use to be.Help House of Commons, House of Peers,Oh now or never help!Th'' Assembly hath not sat Four Years,Yet hath brought forth a Whelp.One Evening late she stept aside,Pretending to fetch Eggs;And there she made her self a Bride,To one that had four Legs:Her Master heard a Rumblement,And wonder she did tarry;Not dreaming (without his consent)His Dog would ever Marry.Help House of Commons, &c.He went to peep, but was afraid,And hastily did run,To fetch a Staff to help his Maid,Not knowing what was done:He took his Ruling Elders Cane,And cry''d out help, help, here;For Swash our Mastiff, and poor Jane,Are now fight Dog, fight Bear.Help House of Commons, &c.But when he came he was full sorry,For he perceiv''d their Strife;That according to the Directory,They Two were Dog and Wife:Ah! (then said he) thou cruel Quean,Why hast thou me beguil''d?I wonder Swash was grown so lean,Poor Dog he''s almost spoil''d.Help House of Commons, &c.I thought thou hadst no Carnal Sense,But what''s in our Lasses:And could have quench''d thy Cupiscence,According to the Classes:But all the Parish see it plain,Since thou art in this pickle;Thou art an Independent Quean,And lov''st a Conventicle.Help House of Commons, &c.Alas now each Malignant Rogue,Will all the World perswade;That she that''s Spouse unto a Dog,May be an Elder''s Maid:They''ll jeer us if abroad we stir,Good Master Elder stay;Sir, of what Classis is your Cur?And then what can we say?Help House of Commons, &c.They''ll many graceless Ballads sing,Of a Presbyterian;That a Lay Elder is a thingMade up half Dog, half Man:Out, out, said he, (and smote her down)Was Mankind grown so scant?There''s scarce another Dog in Town,Had took the Covenant.Help House of Commons, &c.Then Swash began to look full grim,And Jane did thus reply;Sir, you thought nought too good for him,You fed your Dog too high:''Tis true he took me in the lurch,And leap''d into my Arms;But (as I hope to come at Church)I did your Dog no harm.Help House of Commons, &c.Then she was brought to Newgate Gaol,And there was Naked stripp''d;They whipp''d her till the Cords did fail,As Dogs us''d to be whipp''d:Poor City Maids shed many a Tear,When she was lash''d and bang''d;And had she been a Cavalier,Surely she had been hang''d.Help House of Commons, &c.Hers was but Fornication found,For which she felt the Lash:But his was Bugg''ry presum''d,Therefore they hanged Swash:What will become of Bishops then,Or Independency?For now we find both Dogs and Men,Stand up for Presbytry.Help House of Commons, &c.She might have took a Sow-gelder,With Synod-men good store,But she would have a Lay-Elder,With Two Legs and Two more:Go tell the Assembly of Divines,Tell Adoniram blue;Tell Burgess, Marshall, Case and Vines,Tell Now-and-Anon too....We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Download or read book Victorian Songhunters written by E. David Gregory and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2006-04-13 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Songhunters is a pioneering history of the rediscovery of vernacular song—street songs that have entered oral tradition and have been passed from generation to generation—in England during the late Georgian and Victorian eras. In the nineteenth century there were four main types of vernacular song: ballads, folk lyrics, occupational songs, and national songs. The discovery, collecting, editing, and publishing of all four varieties are examined in the book, and over seventy-five selected examples are given for illustrative purposes. Key concepts, such as traditional balladry, broadside balladry, folksong, and national song, are analyzed, as well as the complicated relationship between print and oral tradition and the different methodological approaches to ballad and song editing. Organized chronologically, Victorian Songhunters sketches the history of English song collecting from its beginnings in the mid-seventeenth century; focuses on the work of important individual collectors and editors, such as William Chappell, Francis J. Child, and John Broadwood; examines the growth of regional collecting in various counties throughout England; and demonstrates the considerable efforts of two important Victorian institutions, the Percy Society and its successor, the Ballad Society. The appendixes contain discussions on interpreting songs, an assessment of relevant secondary sources, and a bibliography and alphabetical song list. Author E. David Gregory provides a solid foundation for the scholarly study of balladry and folksong, and makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Victorian intellectual and cultural life.

Download or read book The High Kilted Muse written by Murray Shoolbraid and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-04-02 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1832 the Scottish ballad collector Peter Buchan of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, presented an anthology of risqué‚ and convivial songs and ballads to a Highland laird. When Professor Francis James Child of Harvard was preparing his magisterial edition of The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, he made inquiries about it, but it was not made available in time to be considered for his work. On his death it was presented to the Child Memorial Library at Harvard. Because of its unseemly materials, the manuscript languished there since, unprinted, though referred to now and again, and a few items from time to time made an appearance. The manuscript has now been transcribed with full annotation and with an introduction on the compiler, his times, and the Scottish bawdy tradition. It contains the texts (without tunes) of seventy-six bawdy songs and ballads, along with a long-lost scatological poem attributed to the Edinburgh writer James “Balloon” Tytler. Appendices give details of Buchan's two published collections of ballads. Additionally, there is a list of tale types and motifs, a glossary of Scots and archaic words, a bibliography, and an index. The High-Kilted Muse brings to light a long-suppressed volume and fills in a great gap in published bawdy songs and ballads.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As children, many of us learn to sing, "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands." But despite the familiarity of this tune, few of us realize that what we're singing is actually part of a pervasive - and centuries-old - musical scheme. This particular pattern, the "Sweet Thing" scheme, has generated a large group of songs spanning a broad range of topics, genres, and time periods, but all related through a specific stanzaic form. Early twentieth-century blues songs "My Babe" and "Motherless Children," country songs "Peg and Awl" and "Crawdad Song," and gospel songs "Pure Religion" and "This Train" use this form, along with popular songs like Ray Charles's "I Got a Woman," The Beatles's "One After 909," and the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting for the Man." Sweet Thing: The History and Musical Structure of a Shared American Vernacular Form studies one of the most productive and enduring shared musical resources in North American vernacular music. Author Nicholas Stoia offers the most comprehensive examination to date of the long history of the "Sweet Thing" scheme, exploring how it made its way from sixteenth-century Scotland to eighteenth-century British broadside ballads to nineteenth-century American ragtime. Stoia also examines the form in various contexts, including early blues and country music, and moving forward to rhythm and blues, soul, and rock music, connecting these modern forms to their ancient roots. Through this close look at a ubiquitous musical from, Sweet Thing shows us how it has linked listeners and musicians alike across the boundaries of genre, race, and even time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tercentenary of Henry Purcell's death fell in 1995, and this 1995 volume of specially commissioned essays was collected to celebrate Purcell's music in his tercentenary year. The essays are representative of the best research and deal mainly with the autograph manuscripts, Purcell's compositional technique, the relationship between Purcell and his teacher John Blow, a reassessment of Purcell court odes, performance practice and wordsetting, and eighteenth-century reception history, particularly regarding King Arthur. The volume is well illustrated with music examples and photographs of important manuscripts. It also analyses Purcell's compositional techniques through detailed study of his manuscripts and reports on the discovery of two important autograph manuscripts. The book opens with an assessment of Purcell's illusive personality.
